Perplexity

Search legal cases with Pydantic AI models

The `search_legal_cases` tool returns structured data that your agent validates against Pydantic models. You catch any schema mismatch before the agent acts on the information. It prevents silent failures in your research flow. If the case data doesn't match your expected format, the agent stops immediately.

Fetch statutes with type-safe Pydantic AI workflows

You use `get_state_statutes` to bring in verified legislative text. Pydantic AI checks every field for correctness at runtime. This ensures your legal research is always structured correctly. You get the peace of mind that comes with strictly typed data.

Manage MCP Server connections securely

The `MCPToolset` integrates the server into your agent without the need for deprecated HTTP wrappers. It supports modern transport protocols like SSE. You keep your code clean and type-safe. The server runs externally, providing a clear boundary for your agent's interactions.
